I Specification of Letters Patent. Pafe t dju 8 1920 Application filed July 15, 1919. Serial No. 310,930.

This invention relates to lamps, and espe-" cially to that class of lamps where the volatile fluid, as kerosene or 'gasolene, is vaporized, and burned in connection with an incandescent mantle, or mantles; and the object of this invention is to provide a vaporizer and holder for a lamp of this kind which will be simple to manufacture and efiicient in use.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1, is an elevatlon, partly in section, of a vaporizer holder constructed in accordance with my invention, and an elevation of a part of a vaporizer I may. em-

lo p 2, is a view of a modified form of holder; and

I Fig. 8, is a vi of construction.

In the drawing similar numerals of reference refer to the same parts in each of the views.

In practice I provide the vaporizing tube 4, with a lower end 5, adapted to be seated in the socket 6, of the part 7 in a manner to form a tight connection. This end 5 is adapted'to be forced down into engagement with the seat 6 with the nut 8 slidably and rotatably mounted on the vaporizing tube 4, and'adapted to bear against the top 9 of the end, or head 5 of the vaporizing tube so that in screwing the screw-threaded shank 10 of the nut 8into the screw-threaded part 7, the head will be forced downward into close contact with the seat, as will be understood.

As shown in Fig. 1, the nut 8 can be rotated by engaging the part below the preheating cup 11; or the preheating cup may be fastened on the shank 12 integral with the nut 8 so that the cup may be used as a tool to rotate the nut, as will be understood.

As shown in Fig. 1, the vaporizing tube 1 is of special construction in that the tube is provided with a curved portion 13 located above the cup 11. I do not consider the curl in the vaporizing tube as new, but do consider it new to locate this curl above the ew of another modified form V preheating i so that aflame from the preheating cup will act directly on the coil,

or curl in the vaporizing tube, or a match can be heldto the coil, or curl, or, a match can be laid in the preheating cup without putting any alcohol in the same and the flame of the match will ascend to the coil to generate suflicient gas to start the lamp.

It will be understood that I do not limit myself to the kind of vaporizing tube shown in Fig. 1, as the way of holding the vaporizing tube is important for use with any kind of a vaporizer.

In Fig.2 I have shown a modified form of construction in that the nut 8' does not I carry a shank, as 12; but the cup 11 has a pocket 14: formed therein adapted to fit over the hex nut 8. When this construction is used it is evident that the cup" 11 will act as a tool to rotate the nut 8', to

screw the parts down to draw the head 5" into close contact with the seat 6 in the part7.

In Fig. 3 the cup 11 has a central orifice 15 adapted to fit over the nut 8 to rotate the same. The flange 16 will prevent the alcohol-leaving the cup when placed in the same. V f

In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the vaporizing tube 4 may be the ordinary vaporizing tube, ormay be thesame kind of vaporizing tube shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 3, the vaporizing tube 4 may also be the same as described with reference to this part in Fig. 2. In'Fig. 8 the parts 5% 6 and 7 are the same as described with referencefto the other figures.

If the cup 11 in Fig. 1 is providedwith a V flange 17, it is evident'that the cup may rotate on the hub, or shank 12, of the nut 8, in which case the nut would have to be operated with awrench on the part below the cup. In any event the cup would be effective for a match receptacle below the coil, or curl in the vaporizing tube; and the flame from the alcohol in the vaporizing tube would also be effective in generating gas since the coil, or curl is located directly above the cup.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a vaporizer and holder that is simple in construction and efficient in use.

I claim: I I

1. In a lamp, a vaporizing tube having a head with a beveled end, a nut adapted to force said head into a tight connection with a seat whereby fluid may be fed to the Va porizer Without leakage, and a preheating i holder comprisinga vaporizing tube having a head with a'beveled end, apart. leading to the reservoir having a seat corresponding With said beveled end, a nutrotatably mounted on the vaporizer and adapted to force said head into engagement vvith said seat, and a preheating cup adapted to rotate said nut, for the purpose set forth.

r, 3. In a lamp, a vaporizing tube, a nut adapted to make a elose connection between the reservoir and said tube,'and'a preheating cup adapted to rotate said nut, for the V rpurpose set forth,
